​The concert will prove a great experience for the Lydney Training Band and Lydney Starter Band to perform to an audience in concert, as well as providing an opportunity for local youth and adults to enjoy an evening of live music. Local Gloucestershire schools have been contacted and their pupils encouraged to attend the event as a learning opportunity for school children to help improve their key stage development and music appreciation. 
The Lydney Band believe that brass playing should not only be enjoyed but also provide key skills such as teamwork, multitasking, analytical thinking, and social skills to as many people as possible. The band therefore tutor a large range of youth and adults as part of their training programme, of which members will be seen on stage at the concert. The Lydney Band organisation provides expert tutoring and mentoring through Associated Board Music Examinations (ABRSM) and maintains a 100% pass rate with over 60% achieving the top grade of 'distinction'.
